The Gothic Archies - The Tragic Treasury

How Do You Slow This Thing Down?

How do you slow this thing down?
How do you make this thing slow down?
We tried to brake
By saying "Must be some mistake!"
Problem unsolved
We said "Don't make me get involved!"
How do you slow this thing down?
How do you make this thing slow down?
We tried to slow
It down by shrieking "No, no, no!"
We tried to halt
By whimpering "It's not my fault!"
How do you slow this thing down?
How do you make this thing slow down?
It's not fair
We've tried all kinds of prayer
We tried science
It sped up in defiance
How do you slow this thing down?
How do you make this thing slow down?
